Nevarez was also ordered to forfeit over $16,000 in narcotics sales proceeds. “We will prosecute violent gangsters no matter where they operate in our state,” said Acting U.S. Attorney Matt Kirsch. “Nevarez’s conviction and justly deserved sentence should serve as a warning to gangs in the San Luis Valley.”
